The ruling on saying: The rank of the Prophet is after the rank of Lordship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is there any objection to this phrase, which is that the rank of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is after the rank of Lordship?
Answer:
No, this is not said. It is not said that his rank is above the rank of the created beings, so it is not said that it is only after the rank of the Messenger. But it is said that his right (peace and blessings be upon him) is after the right of Allah. Yes, that is fine, there is no harm. The right of the Messenger is after the right of Allah, the right of the parents is after the right of Allah. So the rights are ranked. Yes. As for the ranks, no, it is not said that the Messenger is after Allah. Yes.
